Antichrist, Superstar

Don’t know if y’all are the ardent fans of Christopher Moore that I am, but I just had to share his awesome post about some loonies declaring BO the Antichrist. The whole thing is worth reading, but the final paragraph is why I love him so fiercely:
Here’s the thing that I’m really saying. Nearly all of the negative posts, the ones that were worried about the Antichrist or other stuff all used phrases like, “it scares the hell out of me” or “what scares me is” or “the frightening thing is” and folks, even if Barack Obama is the antichrist (and if he is I am totally not moving my car, because I voted for him), or Hillary is the whore or Babylon (which I think would look cool on a campaign button ) or John McCain is really the grandfather on The Waltons, you shouldn’t be using fear as the main mechanism for making your political decisions. First, what are you afraid of? The new president will get us into a war, the economy will tank, we’ll become disrespected around the world and our currency’s value will plummet, we’ll be attacked by terrorists, the price of oil will triple and the national debt will skyrocket in the face of unprecedented government spending and borrowing? As our clueless leader once said, “Mission Accomplished.” See, you have nothing to fear.
LOVE Christopher Moore. And he hits the nail on the head here. I’m going right over to make my own “Hillary Clinton, Whore of Babylon” button today!
